What is Route Optimization Software?
Route optimization software builds the most efficient driver routes given stops, time windows, vehicle constraints, driver hours, and traffic. It's used in delivery fleets, field-service organizations, and middle-mile operations to cut miles, fuel, and overtime while improving on-time performance. The math is hard - the right tool can drive 10-25% efficiency gains over manual routing.
